Note that WAN means "Wide Area Network" - not wireless. Your wireless
connection is still part of a LAN (it's sometimes called WLAN, but that may
not make sense in your situation).

The short answer to your question is "yes" - but it would help if you can
provide more info about your exact setup. Where is the wireless access point
in your scenario? Is this a home network?

thanks for your reply and for the WAN and wireless difference explanation.

I have the following configuration:
i have a lan with ip ranges 192.168.19.* --> provides Printer, network
Drives resources
and a wireless with ip ranges 192.168.40.* --> provides Internet

its not a home network; its a company network
i hope this helps

thanks

OK. Since this is a business network, I suggest you speak to the people who
manage your IT to
discuss your options with them.
